Nick takes in three capital cities: Prague in the Czech Republic, Bratislava in Slovakia and Budapest in Hungary, with a climb up an observation tower, a visit to the Hungarian Railway Museum, and a cruise.

The presenter tours Romania, undertaking a journey he calls 'The Transylvania Express'. He begins in Cluj-Napoca, taking a train to the disused salt mine of Salina Turda, where the vast underground cavern has surprising new uses. Nick also pays a visit to Romania's top tourist attraction, Bran Castle, the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's classic novel, Dracula.
